Rotary Club: Chula Vista Project Title: Annual Bike Drive 1. Describe the project. What was done, when and where did project activities take place? Each year over the holidays, the Chula Vista Rotary Foundation has a unique and life-changing program where bicycles and helmets are distributed to children of all ages, whose families are unable to afford presents. We met at a donated warehouse in Chula Vista, CA, where we unloaded, unwrapped and put together over 100 bikes to give to local charities and children in need. 2. How many people benefited from this project? 100 (plus family members) 3. Who were the beneficiaries, how were they impacted by this project, and what humanitarian need was met? Bikes were distributed as follows: Ronald McDonald House 30 Chula Vista Community Collaborative 20 Salvation Army 10 YMCA 30 Bonita Kiwanis 10 Sharp Chula Vista Medical Center 4 Chula Vista Rotary Club volunteers and friends donated their time to this worthy endeavor and helped assemble the bikes. Something as simple as a bicycle makes for a very special holiday. Without this program, these children would not have the childhood memory so many of us treasure. Each year there is a need and we look forward to providing bikes for the community we serve. This year, for the 39th annual Bike Drive, we provided 104 bikes and helmets for underprivileged children living in San Diego's South Bay - a truly binational region. 4. How many Rotarians participated in the project? 17 5. What did they do? Please give at least two examples, not including financial support provided to the project. The Rotarians who participated picked up the bikes from a distribution warehouse in South San Diego. Five Rotarians volunteered to make multiple round trip drives to pick up the over 100 bikes. Another Rotarian and her husband donated the food and warehouse space for us to put together the bikes and helmets. One Rotarian led the effort and coordinated the ordering of bikes and helmets and the distribution. Over 17 Rotarians, plus friends and family helped pick up, build, store and distribute the bikes and helmets. 6. If a cooperating organization was involved, what was its role? No cooperating organization was involved. 7. Income
